Here's a summary of what the council voted on Tuesday night:
- $4 million for FY19 that does not have to be paid back and does not come out of the WISE pension account
- $3.9 million for FY20 that restores all 17 items on the school committee's list of threatened cuts, including sports
- $3 million taken from the paving budget for FY20
- City can be involved with school budget for FY21 (this is the only item that didn't change)
This is a significant loss for the mayor and city council, who thought (wrongly) that they had the upper hand in all of this.
It should make them realize that their way doesn't work, but I don't have much hope of that.
